Cheers boys! Stoked to see everyone enjoying the HYBRID Hub!
Our pleasure! 🤘
From the looks I thought it need two different size spokes is that right or am I tripping
hello, I have the hybrid fc hub, and it creaks sometimes when pedaling or returning the fakie, I'm afraid something will happen to it. Other than that, I tried to adjust it to make it looser and to be able to do crankflips and in fc mode it worked for me but it turns slowly and ends up releasing the driver cone, and now when I tighten it a little it is too tight even for pedaling, in cs mode it's slow just the same, you can't throw cranckflips, they should improve that, now I can't fix it so that it's normal, neither too loose nor too tight, any suggestions? I've had my mace for more than a month and the sounds it makes and what driver tight they make me dissatisfied with the hub
I know it's not the same product, but if you are referencing this video while working on the Eclat Shift hub, one important thing to note is you should leave the guts of the hub in when converting to cassette because they help keep the tabs and springs in place. In other words, all you need to do to make it a cassette is add the springs.
That's pretty interesting! I like the way they put a different spin on what's already existed and just tried to make it better.
Good work on the video as well!
Stoked you liked it ! 🤘
Thank god for this video 😂🙏🏽 I was reassembling the hub and it was locking up! But then you showed the washer is coned towards the hub and problem fixed !!! 🎉🎉
Glad I could help!
Thanks. Helped a lot with conversion to cassette.
100% getting one !! I do like the bsd revolution but i dont like that is sounds like a cassette,good work wethepeople 👍👌
The Revolution is almost silent, or mine is anyway!
@@kirkwickham3336 still not silent tho,it will get louder as the grease wears out.still a sick hub tho dont get me wrong,but my fav thing about a freecoaster is its silence
@@benjiize Huh, I hadn't thought about that, when the grease wears thin that it may get louder. I guess I'll wait and see. Love the stealth that a freecoaster provides too!
Thanks! Yes our hub is silent when being used as a freecoaster.
@@kirkwickham3336 you could just grease it again tho.i nearly bought a revolution hub but i was waiting to see what this wethepeople hybrid was all about,it looks solid and its silent so its a definate purchase from me when there available in the uk.
Can you tell me which spokes are usually needed for this sleeve in length?
Thanks for this vid. Just got mine built up and was not impressed with the lack of slack! Wanted a quick guide on where the slack mechanism was as didn't want to take it apart before i rode it as thought (as with most FC) max slack was default. Should make it much nicer to ride now :)
Hoping this hub pushes more companies into getting better FC out there
Yeah, these hubs are pretty damn tech! We love how slim they are in comparison to other freecoaster hubs.
So max slack is default?
Is it 1/4 of a crank on 25/9t?
Cuz I don't need more
@@grabslide min slack is default, you have to adjust it yourself. I'd still say max slack isn't enough, it's defo less than 1/4 crank to engage on 25/9. This FC is okay, others have more slack, but it can be used as a cassette if it gets sloppy as a FC, that's why i bought it. I have other FCs spare too
similar to the Ezra hubs, if this comes with an LSD would really love to get one.
Similar system but with huge improvements. This hub has a much larger (and adjustable) slack, comparable to a typical "clutch" style freecoaster. We used a beefier axle and have a magnetic driver which allows you to switch to cassette much easier.
Thanks for getting to all the tech answers for us !
You mean Lhd lsd is for cars
Awesome ❤
Gotta try this one out
They are pretty incredible and look rad !
Are these hubs silent like a traditional freecoaster?
What does he mean it doesn’t have as much versatility as a freecoaster on its own?
Hey Ed, sorry, I minced my words a little there. I should have simply said it doesn't have as much range in slack adjustment as most stand-alone freecoaster hubs on the market. There is no denying how much versatility it has as a hub alone being convertible from freecoaster to cassette and back again.
I hope that clears things up a little.
Ev
@@Estobmx That makes lots of sense, I couldn’t see any lack of versatility. Thanks for clarification
The slack is adjustable in x3 positions video re-arranging the slack disc. The large slack is simialr to a conventional freecoaster, the small is much smaller and better for riders who don't like a lot of slack.
@@wethepeoplebikebrand I'm buying a wheel this week.
Can you change it from RHD to LHD?
WTP is future, love ya guys
Thanks Beka!
so like how does it work? is it like vocal hitchiker where if you take it apart you can change it from coaster to cassette? or is it like a z coaster where you can use it like a cassette then disengage? is it just a coaster with fancy internals? whys it so special hahaha
It's very similar to a vocal Hitchhiker, improved and refined for 2021, but can be used a perfect cassette. With an adjustable slack and magnets instead of springs to hold the pawls in place when in freecoaster mode.
@@luxbmxstore so basically it can act as either a freecoaster or a cassette, but only one at a time depending on what youve done to the internals
Is it crank flipable in both cassette and coaster mode?
Yes super easily. Some of the guys have done doubles just to check :)
We need a left hand drive version (PLEASE )
There is a LHD version as well, we just sold out of the first batch super fast.
Ev
I like a lot 😄
They are pretty epic!
does this hub come with maximum slack on default? any tips on opening this hub? I thightend it once (just a little because it was loose) now I cant even open it anymore :/
These hubs come with minimum slack, you might need to through one side in the vice from the cone nut and then loosen off the driver side first and tap the other side through if you wanted to get the axle out. Hope that helps. Email us at help@luxbmx.com and we can sort any further issue out!
I was looking for slack info that stuff should be on wtp site.
Is there any side play with this hub in coaster mode. Highly debating this over the cortex
Hi Cever, there isn't any side play when in coaster mode. Which cortex were you thinking of getting (?) the fc or the cassette?
@@luxbmxstore hi i have side play in the hybrid hub what i can do? already tighten the cone to the maximum 😣and still have side play . Im on freecoaster mode greetings from Chile
@WethepeopleBMX Is this hub not afraid of hard and sharp foot presses? (hard tap)
Nope, doesn't affect the hub. :)
Will this be available in Female Axel and LHD?
Yeah available in both left and right hand drive. 🤘
Will this hub last longer than a regular freecoaster hub? Will this be better than a Primo Balance hub?
It entirely depends on how you ride and the pressures you're putting on the hub. If you have any other questions feel free to email help@luxbmx.com
on which mode does the hub comes,cassete or freecoaster?
They come set in freecoaster mode
This guys info is wrong at the end about cassette. You do not need to remove anything for using cassette just put in the three springs in put back together and your in cassette mode.
Like Ezra Freecoaster Hub
It builds on a similar principal system but with our own upgrades and development to improve the hub drastically. This hub has a larger slack much more comparable to a traditional freecoaster, but the durability and engagement upgrades of a cassette.
hows the sound on the cassette?
Like a regular cassette hub :)
Wow very nice 👍
Thank you Emmanuel✅
Is it the same as the freenight or bsd revolution?
No. This new WTP hub is a freecoaster/cassette hybrid, where is the Free Night and Revolution are freecoasters with unique clutches that allow a slack similar to a cassette.
@@kirkwickham3336 thanks
Nice design but I prefer my BSD Revolution.
Have you tried this one?
@@JAYFLATLDN No but my Battleship came with a WTP Helix freecoaster, which is essentially what this new product is, just with the addition of being able to convert it to a cassette. While the Revolution costs a lot more, I think it's a much better design for the future of BMX. Actually, when I saw this new WTP hub, I thought it was their take on the Revolution but instead is simply a hybrid. Cheers!
@@kirkwickham3336 No the HELIX and the HYBRID are 2 totally different hubs! The Hybrid is much more comparable to a cassette hub in weight and feel.
@@wethepeoplebikebrand Right on!
The Venus hub of Alienation is better
Same issue Shit Like BSD Revolution???
You guys are selling this hub more than retail price $280AUS same as CAD and that’s not right price should be $170 was going to buy mine from you guys but ordered from SkatePro with it being $175 cad
Sorry you think that Adam, we have priced our hub at the recommended retail price. I think you will find we have priced this the same as all other shops based off the recommended retail price. I'm not sure if you are aware what you're talking about. Not only that but I was unable to fin the product your talking about on skate-pro, but considering similar hubs are a similar price i couldn't see them putting this up for $170. Thanks
Got the hub for a week and the non drive side hub guard broke... i guess the material was too brittle and not strong enough. the hub itself is really smooth tho, does crankflips and a big slack so no accidental engagement while going backwards. so far pretty good exept the hub guard problem (got a federal metal guard now)
Non-drive side (my grind side) hub guard is wearing out super quick on my Revolution hub.
does it sound like a cassette?
@@AlexDamian21 When the new WTP hub is converted to cassette, yes, it will sound like a cassette.
@@AlexDamian21 Its silent when being used as a Freecoaster.
Hey Eric, shoot us an email service@wethepeoplebmx.de and we'll get you a new guard sent out ASAP :)
Maybe I’m dumb but this is confusing as fuck the only coaster I’ve worked on is my fed v4 n it’s literally as simple as removing a spacer or 2 😑 MaGneTTS 🥴
You're not dumb! This hub is different to a conventional coaster you can run it as either a cassette. Cassette- add springs behind the pawls, remove slack disk. For a coaster, you remove the springs and add the wave spring and slack disk. Hope that helps!
@@luxbmxstore say if I buy a complete wheel with this hub from like source, do I have the option to get it converted for me so it’s a ready to ride coaster out the box?
bsd revolution better than that...
How is it comparable when it's a completely different hub? The revolution doesn't have a cassette it's a free coaster. This is both. grow up.
And the revolution has plastic parts inside,the wtp hybrid is all metal internals so i would say theres is better
@@benjiize does not have plastic parts
@@clarkthurman5580 pretty sure inside the clutch disc is lil plastic cogs/wheels
No mate definitely doesn’t
